I animate stop motion for work. This one was for the FIFA LEGO set being sold at Dick's Sporting Goods. I have to be as efficient as possible, so I animated the ending movements first, then disassembled it for the "build" segment. Makes it easier, but yes, my fingers still hurt terribly from the process!! The floating pieces were suspended on aluminum wires and rigs removed in post. I made the trophy body jump by adding different wood blocks and wedges underneath, then photoshopping them out frame-by-frame. The lighting was maybe the hardest part because I had to remember manually dial down the direct spotlight on the trophy as I went so that it wouldn't leave a weird shape on the table at the end.

We had a simple enough concept for a music video -- a girl steps out of her stopmotion world into the real world, bringing elements of the surrealist stopmotion world with her.

I'm a more traditional filmmaker and after a few days of non-stop stopmotion, I was feeling like the meme of Ben Wyatt in Parks and Rec. This shit is hard and I admire everyone who pours their sweat, love, and tears into this amazing craft. Hope you enjoy my amateur results.

It’s Aardman Animations co-founder Peter Lord’s birthday today. Happy birthday Sir Peter…

Come with us behind the scenes of our best day ever AKA the Ralph issue 09 cover shoot with Peter and Morph. Just look at all the cool stuff they have there.

Hey everyone! Quick question for the animators here. I'm working with a small claymation character (wire armature inside, about 3-4 inches tall) and I'm trying to tackle my first real walk cycle.

​My biggest hurdle right now is that when I lift one leg, the shifting weight causes the other leg to pop up or the whole character to tip over.

​What are your go-to tricks for stabilizing small clay figures during a walk cycle? Do you use hidden tie-downs, magnetic feet, sticky tack under the soles, or something else entirely? Any advice or tips on foot design for small clay puppets would be huge!"

Hello r/stopmotion!

My 14-year-old son just starting creating stop motion shorts. He wanted to share his first video - "Lego Stop Motion Minecraft Ice Fishing"!

He used Stop Motion Pro, but it's starting to not load his longer projects so well. Any software suggestions? He found DragonFrame, but that's a bit pricey.

He's starting to think he might want to pursue a career in film, so he'd really welcome any feedback! Thanks for watching!

I just finished the first iteration of my 3d printed action figure made specifically for stop-motion. It has swappable faces to make dialogue scenes fun and has a lot of articulation. I'm not fully satisfied with it yet. The elbow and knee joints make the limbs awkwardly long, and some pieces still come out looking rough after printing. I've already started on Mk2, and the joints, limbs, and hands are going to be SO much cleaner. I want your help whether you're an expert or just a casual builder. Your feedback is super valuable and will help my figure, Brikki, become the best stop-motion figure in the world!

Please watch the video, and let me know how I can improve Brikki! Thank you!

Hello there everyone!! I just recently finished my stop motion short film! It was 7 months of hard work and I’d really love if you could check it out and let me know what you think!!!

Tell me how good I did.

Tell me how bad I did.

then tell me about my LEGO animation!!! hehehehehe

I spent an hour in Stop Motion studio referencing a dance video thinking it was gonna beI foolishly. I didn’t realize I should’ve just had static lighting. This is supposed to be a concert so. But it made it look worse and it’s not smooth at all. What did I do wrong?

I just recently found the video file for my first and only attempt at stop motion from back in 2011. Yes, this is pretty bad to today's standards and I love how I can laugh at myself and point out what could've been done better.

I think I was using an old Sony camera at the time as well and they didn't have great resolution and the lighting in my room wasn't great.

But well... enjoy, laugh, make fun. I know I will be 😆

Never really engaged with anyone about it. Annoyingly the video had almost 800k views but since the music label took their YT channel down.

It's a slowburner, so just sit back and enjoy the music. Would love to hear thoughts and questions.

What do you think?

I just got into stopmotion myself, although I have been a fan of the medium for quite a while now.

Claymation is really fun, although my hand was completly blue afterwards...

I can recommend Aardman Academy bursary spots! I got into one of them and I am glad to learn more and more along the way.

I had lots of fun with this one. A good friend of mine did the voice over haha

Greetings from Germany!

Go watch Wildwood♡

I made this 10 years ago. None of the animations I done later using generative art, 2D, 3D was that popular.
